How do you create your project, using: django-admin.py
startproject
XXX? If you did like this, the settings.py should include
default
apps.

Yes. And you can also modify the settings.py as you change
the
project, and rerun the syncdb command.

Maybe you don't need.

Of course you can add them manually. And there are string
fromat, just
like python module. But you should write them just like
these:

'yourprojectname.appname1',
'yourprojectname.appname2',

And you can also write them other formats, as long as django
can
import them. For example:

'yourprojectname.apps.appname1'

or

'apps.appname1'  # and you should add apps' parent
directory to
PYTHONPATH, so as django can import them correctly.

Ya, I did create using 'django-admin.py startproject XXX'
but I din't
get the default apps included in the settings.py. Thats the
basic
reason behind posting the original message to this group.

As now I don't have the default apps, so can I inlude them
in my
settings.py as below :

INSTALLED_APPS (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites'
)

Also, as i don't get the defualts inluded automatically,
how will I set
it right? How does django decide which apps to include by
default and
will I be able to check whether this setting is right or not
?

Just think:  import django.contrib.auth, etc.

These things are implemented in django/core/management.py,
and the
template files is in
django/conf/project_template/settings.py. And you
should see the default settings.py template. My version is
0.95, and
the settings.py file includes the default apps.

Please check your installation, maybe you should remove the
django and
reinstall.
